I been thinking lately about the people I meet |
|
The car wash on the corner and the hole in the street |
|
The way my ankles hurt with shoes on my feet |
|
And I'm wondering if I'm gonna see tomorrow |
|
Father forgive us for what we must do |
|
You forgive us and we'll forgive you |
|
We'll forgive each other till we both turn blue |
|
Then we'll whistle and go fishing in heaven |
|
I was in the army but I never dug a trench |
|
I used to bust my knuckles on a monkey wrench |
|
Then I'd go to town and drink and give the girls a pinch |
|
But I don't think they ever even noticed me |
|
Father forgive us for what we must do |
|
You forgive us and we'll forgive you |
|
We'll forgive each other till we both turn blue |
|
Then we'll whistle and go fishing in heaven |
|
Fish and whistle, whistle and fish |
|
Eat everything that they put on your dish |
|
And when we get through we'll make a big wish |
|
That we never have to do this again, again, again |
|
On my very first job I said, "Thank you" and "Please" |
|
They made me scrub a parking lot down on my knees |
|
Then I got fired for being scared of bees |
|
And they only give me fifty cents an hour |
|
Father forgive us for what we must do |
|
You forgive us and we'll forgive you |
|
We'll forgive each other till we both turn blue |
|
Then we'll whistle and go fishing in heaven |
|
Fish and whistle, whistle and fish |
|
Eat everything that they put on your dish |
|
And when we get through we'll make a big wish |
|
That we never have to do this again, again, again |
|
Father forgive us for what we must do |
|
You forgive us and we'll forgive you |
|
We'll forgive each other till we both turn blue |
|
Then we'll whistle and go fishing in heaven |
|
We'll whistle and go fishing in heaven |
|
We'll whistle and go fishing in heaven |
